I thought it was going up a year from now, but it's this October, so a
bit late. But hopefully they have or ''will have'' a plaque mentioning
women editors. Actually, it's probably best that Polish Wikipedia women
editors approach whom so ever.
But for the heck of it, I found the Polish article on the statue and
asked the question on the talk page, using my best Google Translate
polish. :-)

I see there is a Polish Gender gap project but don't have energy right
now to see what their input was,
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiprojekt:Gender_Studies
Better late than never noticed a Polish Gender studies group so left
message there too.

"Polish town to have monument honoring Wikipedia"
The lack of anatomical precision did confuse me a bit as to whether
male or female. Others pointed out narrow hips and broad shoulders
indicated male. But this is Catholic Poland. Not Dutch Amsterdam or
Venice Italy. So of course they aren't going to show the explicit
sexual details. /
Perhaps the Wikipedia Powers that Be could write a nice letter
explaining how they should have at least one woman in there? That
would be really great!/
